  Why the Watchtower Can't Drop Its Appeal

  by Diest in

  2. child-abuse

  i don't think the society can afford to drop this appeal.

  1. if they loose their appeal it opens them up to huge amounts of liability.

  they need the courts to come down on their side of the clergy-penitent confidentiality issue.

  aquagirl - he sounds a real charmer. You owe it to others (and yourself) to get him 'exposed' (bad choice of words). He could be contnuing to do this with other kiddies. Could you also contact any of your peers from your childhood congregation to find out if he exposed himself to them too?

  i think this thread got lost in the shuffle, so i wanted to make another one.

  these are some of the key pages from the deposition of the lead elder, michael lee clarke.

  clarke admits he gets his marching orders from the wts.

  i've uploaded a video that discusses the dramatic jury verdict regarding the abuse suffered by candace conti, of which you are all aware.

  if you're not yet familiar with the story for any reason, please check out my blog article on the link below.... http://jwsurvey.org/general-information/the-watchtower-punished-society-loses-legal-battle-over-child-abuse-case.

  john hoyle suggested i get a youtube video out fairly quickly so that we can spread the message more effectively online.

  A Real and Authentic Letter from a Jehovah's Witness Mother to Her Son

  by God_Delusion in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this letter on dave reekie's blog and asked him if i could write a piece about it.

  i am glad that he accepted.. it's so rare to find a real, authentic handwritten letter from a jehovah's witness parent to their disfellowshipped child, so we hope you can read it and show it to any apologists that claim the watchtower society doesn't condone shunning.. you can read the article here.. .

  warm regards,.

  Very sad. And what's almost as sad is that I'm not shocked.

  The WT doesn't believe in infant baptism, but does an 11 year old really understand what they're getting into isn't just a pool with a lot of people looking on?

  a scene from today's "safeguard your heart" district convention of jehovah's witnesses.

  Phizzy - I did not vow to serve an Organisation or to adhere to the teachings of men, as the later vows did.

  In that case, your 'Contract' is not with the Org. So it's not valid for current teachings. Congrats, lol.

  UK child abuse lawyer contact details (keep bumping this thread)

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i've already received enquiries from those interested in hiring a lawyer to pursue their own child abuse claims in the wake of the candace conti verdict.

  obviously, rick simons has excelled in his handling of the case, but i'm sure it wouldn't be practical for him to represent each-and-every potential client who are victims of child abuse.

  i am thinking particularly of victims of molesters in the uk, where i am from.. i have no legal experience, and i am not personally acquianted with any lawyers specializing in this field.

  Watchtower's Billion Dollars of Property Cannot Be Sold until Outcome of Conti Appeal

  by Dogpatch in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  30 minutes ago i just got off the phone with some important players in this case, and some things were relayed to me concerning a lot of details of the outcome of the last two days of court.

  i am passing this on.

  cynthia hampton, one of the main players in the candace conti case (and a close friend of 28 years), just informed me of a further, far more powerful move by the state of california against the watch tower bible and tract society of new york, inc.. by order of the superior court of the state of california - county of alameda (see documents below), until the watch tower's appeal, which won't begin until august 13th and will take up to two years to settle due to due process of law, has forbidden the watch tower to sell any more of its $1 billion in assets in the borough of brooklyn until the appeals case is finished, to assure they won't shelter their monies in the light of this most huge and devastating sexual abuse scandal ever to hit the watch tower society, and perhaps any other single-victim lawsuit.

  Refriedtruth - I can't imagine how hard discovering your Mum's illness and death that way was. How could anyone be so cruel as to not inform you..? Did no one know your whereabouts..?

  Reduction of awards happens frequently in the appeal process.

  I appreciate this does happen, but when a jury (12 individuals with no interest, and unlikely to have heard of this case before serving - unlike other high profile cases - so not 'swayed' by prior press reports) awards a figure, on what grounds is it adjusted?
